No she can't. If her ex is a good man and a good father when he has visitation rights then she has no right to tear the child away from him. He can fight it in a court of law. Before one acts out of haste they should consider the child and what their feelings are. They may not understand the total issue, but they do know who their mother and father are and that's all they need to know. The two of you should put the child first and each other second.
These are only reasons why the father should no longer have further contact with his child:
No, nor should he.
The father must obey the visitation order or he will be in contempt of a court order. Continued contempt can result in the loss of primary custody.
Probably not. You should consult the custody order for details.
No that is kidnapping and against court orders
You indicate they have "Contact", but what is the status of Custody? If the Father has visitation, partial or shared custody, legal& or physical....No, you cannot change the Surname of the child without the Fathers explicit consent!!
If he has primary custody or even visitation rights, you cannot take his child far enough away that he cannot readily exercise his custody/visitation rights unless he gives you permission to do so.
If there are court orders regarding visitation and child support and custody, you will need his and the courts consent. The court orders have to be followed.See related question link.
yes biological fathers may seek visitation and custody rights
You will need his and the courts permission to take the child away if there is a court order for visitation or custody. The court order has to be followed.
They can be held in contempt which is grounds for a change of custody.
Why take it away? That is just as damaging. Request supervised visitation.
Until paternity is established the birth mother is considered to hold sole custody of a minor child. For a father to have custodial or visitation rights it must be agreed on by the mother of the child or through the prescribed court procedures by means of a lawsuit.
Only with the consent of whoever has custody of you.
IF THE MOTHER HAS SOLE CUSTODY
If there is a custody agreement in place through the courts, the mother cannot take the child out of state without the fathers consent. If there is no agreement in place, the mother does not have to have the fathers consent.
Only if the court papers served to both of you indicate this. If the courts have left you with full custody and no visitation rights for the father then you can move anywhere you want. Marcy
